...SMT 320 Case Study #1 Kristian Lauren R. Martin November 6, 2011 Case Study #1 Building the Foundation – Security Assessments As the security manager of a major corporation tasked with creating the initial security assessment and auditing program for the company, the first step in developing proposals for the security services would be conducting a comprehensive survey (policies, procedures and operations) of the entire facility to identify the critical factors affecting the security of the premises (Broder, 2006). The next step would be to analyze the vulnerabilities and recommend protection which is cost-effective (Broder, 2006). To start, establishing policies and procedures which define the mission of the security department should be the bare minimum in the role of the security department. These would include the following: * Protection against internal and external theft (to prevent embezzlement, fraud, burglary, robbery, industrial espionage and theft of trade secrets and proprietary information) * Developing access-control procedures (to protect the perimeter of the facility and other sensitive areas) and anti-intrusion systems * Establishing lock-and-key control procedures * Establishing a workplace violence program * Controlling the movement of people on the premises * Reviewing security personnel hiring and deploying * Establishing emergency and disaster recovery plans * Identifying the resources needed and available for the security...

With increasing use of enterprise systems such as HRIS and e-HR, security of such systems is an area that is worthy of further exploration. Even then, there is surprisingly little research in this area, albeit that extensive work is present in regard to HRIS privacy. While focusing on HRIS and e-HR security, we introduce aspects of HRIS and e-HR security and how it can be enhanced in organizations.

...ROLE OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT. INTRODUCTION 1. Background of Management Information Systems The concept of Management information system (MIS) has been in existence as early as the 19th Century. Works of majorly were in the form of tabulated cards which could be counted and sorted commonly referred to us punch – cards. The punch-cards still remembered by many, could capture elements of information keyed in on punch-card machines; the cards were then processed by other machines some of which could print out results of tallies. Each card was the equivalent of what today would be called a database record, with different areas on the card treated as fields. The initial idea of MIS was to process data from the organization and present it in the form of reports at regular basis. The system was largely capable of handling the data from collection to processing. It was more impersonal requiring each individual to pick and choose the processed data and use for his requirements. This concept was further modified when a distinction was made between data and information. Information is a product of analysis of data. However the data could be analyzed in different ways producing different shades and specification of information as a product. It therefore demanded that the system concept be an individual oriented since each individual has different orientation. This concept was further modified that the system should present information in such...

...MINING A.1. POLICY AND REGULATIONS A.1.1. FEATURES OF NATIONAL MINING CODES OR MINERAL INDUSTRY CODE The main feature of German mining legislation is its comprehensive structure, implementing integrated risk prevention through an intermedia approach with strict requirements on concessions, health and safety, environment and other issues as well as differentiated mechanisms for compliance and monitoring. This approach directly implements the challenges of the concept of sustainable development, taking into consideration the three pillars of environmental protection, social development and economic development, with each of these three policy areas being mutually supportive of the others. Mining legislation in Germany consists of the Federal Mining Act of 1980 and a number of Mining Ordinances on technical and procedural issues, e.g. the Federal General Mining Ordinance of 1995, the Health and Safety Mining Ordinance of 1991, the Ordinance on the Environmental Impact Assessment of Mining Projects of 1990. These provisions set up a uniform mining law for all important mineral resources in the form of a comprehensive law covering all aspects of mining, including health and safety and environment, supervised by one single administration (one-stop shop). This comprehensive system has been strengthened in the past 30 years several times with the transferring into national German legislation of new European legislation on concessions, environment and health and safety in the extractive...

...containing sensitive material that results in the potential compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, or availability. “An information security program begins with policy, standards, and practices, which are the foundation for the information security architecture and blueprint. In order for an organization’s information security program to succeed. It will need to “operate in conjunction with the organization’s established security policy.” (Whitman & Mattord, 2012) This case study will discuss the legal environment for an organization, which includes policies, regulations, and laws. Also, it will illustrate how these factors impact an organization to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and information systems. Foremost, in any organization, confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA triad) is the model which is supposed to guide information security policies that are established. Policies play an important role in any organization. They “direct how issues should be addressed and technologies should be used.” (Whitman & Mattord, 2012) As Information security practitioners, we use government and organizational policies as our stepping stones or foundational material to establish a rock solid information security program. In information security, government policies are issued by federal, state, local,...

...endorsed by the Central Bank Governors and Heads of Banking Supervision of the Group of Ten countries. It presents the outcome of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s work over recent years to secure international convergence on revisions to supervisory regulations governing the capital adequacy of internationally active banks. Following the publication of the Committee’s first round of proposals for revising the capital adequacy framework in June 1999, an extensive consultative process was set in train in all member countries and the proposals were also circulated to supervisory authorities worldwide. The Committee subsequently released additional proposals for consultation in January 2001 and April 2003 and furthermore conducted three quantitative impact studies related to its proposals. As a result of these efforts, many valuable improvements have been made to the original proposals. The present paper is now a statement of the Committee agreed by all its members. It sets out the details of the agreed Framework for measuring capital adequacy and the minimum standard to be achieved which the national supervisory authorities represented on the Committee will propose for adoption in their respective countries. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision is a committee of banking supervisory authorities that was established by the central bank governors of the Group of Ten countries in 1975. It consists of senior representatives of bank supervisory authorities and central...
